Evan, Carlin, Layla, & Izzy
From someone who lived with an undiagnosed brain injury for nearly four years: do not leave any stone unturned. You are worth every test, every result, and worth finding answers for. Unexplained illnesses take such a deep emotional toll on you and in my experience became emotionally detrimental. I found great healing and help in seeing a counselor who empowered me with tools to cope with what I was going through. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone struggling with ongoing/unexplained health issues. You are such a beautiful woman, wife, and mom. I love how you are so present with your kids despite everything going on. You are so incredible and such an inspiration. Thanks for your bravery in sharing your life with us. I will continue to pray for answers/healing for y'all and that the Lord would encourage your spirits.
Carlin-please don’t feel like you are ranting or even complaining. I believe when you share your burdens we all know how to intercede for you in prayer. I hope you have answers soon! 💜 Blessings!!!
Amen👍 🙏🏼
Totally true!
AMEN to that! 🙏 PRAYING that Carlin gets some answers soon! 💞
I just love Evan. He's a great husband and father. Carlin is lucky to have him. I wish my sons were like him.
Layla singing “We don’t talk about Bruno” is precious, she’s got the cutest voice💗
Carlin is going through so much not knowing is going on with her and trying to take care of the children. I am glad of the support she gets from both families.
That’s how family should be. Happy for her as well.
Fillings are never fun when you need freezing. That wouldn't be part of the problem would it? Things like that can make little issues into bigger issues especially in the body or brain.
Please check sudo tumer in the brain. My daughter has it . And it seen like it. Good luck and God's love

Carlin... your plan to take it slow and know that answers won't come in one day is a great strategy. You are brave and strong! So blessed to have such a supportive husband too!
Layla is absolutely a beautiful big sissy…”you can do it you can do it” I just love these precious years…such a wonderful thing to have your children in your vlogs! Praying for Carlin 🙏🏻♥️
Despite the difficulties and the unknowns, both of their spirits are amazingly positive and bubbly 😇
Get into an Epileptologist which is just a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy. They know exactly what to look for to rule out or confirm neurological deficits.
She sees doctor at Vanderbilt. I think they have it under control and know exactly who she needs to see.
@@michelle3445 it was just a suggestion from personal experience. I spent decades with neurologists and no clear diagnosis for decades. I would hate to see anyone else go through that. As I said, just a suggestion.
@@michelle3445 She was just recommending something that helped her. No need to be snippy.
Love how Layla encourages Zade. So sweet. And her rendition of “We Don’t talk about Bruno,” adorable.
I've been to Mayo Clinic previously (for neurology) & all I needed was a referral by my primary care doctor & that got me onto the wait-list. If you're interested in getting a clinic like that, I would just call them to ask what is required to get onto the wait-list. I only had to be on the wait-list for about two months before I got an appointment.
Perhaps their neurology department is different, but my husband was able to get an appointment with their urology and oncology departments without a referral, as Mayo is in- network for his insurance. He waited less than two weeks for his appointments.
It may be out of network with their insurance.
I got a referral to Mayo Ped Urology from my primary doctor, but a friend from our church just reached out to them! I think insurance requires it for certain situations (they will cover it as in network if you have a referral).
Like one mentioned prior, call whatever larger clinic you are interested in and just ask what is required. See if In-Network on your insurance, and speak to a financial specialist so you know what to expect . My first time , I was referred. Years later, we were in -network but Doctor referred too and we had an appointment within two weeks. We worked with Mayo for seven years or more, once or twice a year follow up appointments and they would go over everything and f needed to do a test, test again, or have me see another specialist, it was sometimes same day or next day.
My husband had an issue that no other doctors could figure out. Our family doctor sent us to a cardiologist, he found nothing. Cardiologist sent him to an gastroenterologist and he couldn’t find anything. So my husband went online to find a phone number to Mayo Clinic. There was an online form he filled out explaining his issue, they called him back and set up an appointment. He went and they did all the tests and found the issue!! They are amazing!! Hope this helps Carlin find out what’s going on! ❤️
That is true about Mayo Clinic, just call them and they will help you. Both my husband and I have been there and they are wonderful.
Layla is so stinking cute! Her singing “we don’t talk about Bruno” is going to have it stuck in my head all day 😂 Zade is getting so big!
Carlin looks like she's doing much better than she did on the last vlog. I really hope you guys get answers soon or just that all of Carlin's symptoms go away and never come back. You guys are in my prayers! ❤
Super cute video. Layla singing "we don't talk about Bruno" and cheering on Zade and showing him how to roll is the sweetest! Such a great big sister! Sending many continued prayers your way Carlin. You are LOVED & Supported completely ❤️ 🙏🏻
The love that the two of you share for one another just brings tears to my eyes. Evan, the support you give Carlin and always thinking about how to make things safer for her makes my heart swell. The love you have for her shows in your eyes🥰
Carlin, the love you have for Evan also shows in your eyes and your appreciation for him is undeniable.
I feel like there is nothing that the two of you, along with God, can’t get through. I love your little family so much and will continue to pray for you! 🙏
I know this is hard! But nothing is impossible for GOD! He will give you guys an answer. I am praying for you guys. It doesn't say long suffering in the good book for nothing. But GOD is still good. Blessings 🥰🥰🥰
Just wondering if Alyssa's heart condition and Layla's could be a family link to what Carlin is going through?
Carlin,it can be frustrating wanting answers about your health and having to wait for them. Just be encouraged, God is still in control. It's in the waiting on Him where he does miraculous things in our lives. You have such a great support system with Evan and both families. Layla singing is so precious. Don't worry,Zade will roll over really soon-he's so close.😊💖
This was so exciting! I was watching and cheering Zade on. And Layla, singing and performing looking to be Mommy and Daddy's excitement. I'm so glad y'all realized that immediately. Y'all are wise beyond your years and very attentive. Good job. Can't wait to see that full roll of Zade's next week.
Layla is so sweet with Zade!! I'm pretty sure she was singing "we don't talk about Bruno". That was adorable. Both your kids are adorable!!
This is definitely the “in sickness and in health” part of the vows.
So sweet 🥹
I love Zade's chunky little legs and kankles he's so cute, starting to look just like Layla ❤
Yes!!! And baby eat. I could “nibble” on them. (Not hurt of course) loL
Bless your heart Carlin! It can’t be easy going through this. Just know there are a lot of people lifting you and your family in prayer. You have an amazing husband and kiddos.
I have the same medical problems . I was admitted to Johns Hopkins for a week and I had episodes and it was determined mot to be epilepsy but rather a movement disorder. I haven’t had clearance to drive in 5 years. I moved to North Carolina and now being evaluated by a new team of Neuromuscular doctors. I wish you the best and don’t give up searching for answers.
Carlin…just know that whatever GOD brings you to, he will bring you through!!! Just keep looking to GOD for strength. Y’all are the cutes family!!!
I relate so much to what you're going through. I went through it a few years ago. Months of not knowing what's wrong with me with doctors not having an answer or treatment. Now when photos from that time come up in my memories, I feel proud of myself because I know I was in pain then, mentally and physically, but I was still able to find joy in live life. That is what you're doing, when you're not crying, you are living, you are smiling, you are experiencing Joy. You are strong and should be so proud of yourself.
Love the “Don’t talk about no no no 😂 “ Layla is too cute and Lil Boyd’s getting so big❣️
Have you thought of getting a service dog who would be able to alert when there is a episode coming on? Praying for you Carlin!
I thought about that too. They are also trained to help catch a person.
Izzy could be trained I bet
The only problem is that a fully trained service dog is very expensive. Around 25000,
@@Evanescence1231001 they could train one themselves. But it would take time. Some dogs have instincts already that are untrained which helps because it's less the dog needs to learn. I have several dogs that have been used and trained for service work even though I don't breed them specifically for that. Hopefully they'll find out what's causing these episodes.
@@sheriturner6118 I agree. Izzy could receive the training but not sure how they’d go about financing their own dog for this purpose. Maybe a second dog? But that’s also expensive.
Layla is the sweetest big sister, cheering little brother on was adorable!😍 Keeping Carlin in my prayers, hopefully you'll get the answers you want soon!🙏💜
And that sums up parenthood pretty well. Watching your child struggle to succeed and cheering them on with every milestone. God bless this family.
You guys are so inspirational! Prayers you find the answers you seek. Thanks for taking the time to share with us!
It’s good to rant! It’s good to cry! In 2009 when I was struggling to get a diagnosis I felt better after doing both! Still struggle with my health issue and still rant and cry. It’s a good thing and we are here to listen to all and pray it all gets resolved! God bless.
Praying Carlin.
You are loved!
I just love y'all so much ! I'm incredibly sad that Carlin has to go through all of this. I'm tearing up as I'm saying this . Your children are beautiful and I'm so happy that Evan is there with you every step of the way ! Prayers for answers !!!!
The small family moments are so sweet. Praying for Carlin. 😊God Bless
Check for Dysautonomia. Specifically, POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Tilt Table Test.
Praying for Carlin and for the whole family 🙏💖💐
Praying for Evan too! He’s such a good husband. 🙏🏼
So good to see baby boy! He's adorable just like Layla!
Thanks for keeping us up on Carlin's health. Can't imagine how hard it is waiting for answers. Hang in there and just enjoy each day.
Carlin, I know you have awesome medical and familiar support around you. Your symptoms made me sit up and take notice because they were very similar to my own. During my pregnancy I began having light headedness, nausea and a few other symptoms. I was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia called Long QT Syndrome. Just know you are all in our prayers.
This!
Possibly POTS syndrome 🤔
They should give her a heart monitor, such as the Zio patch, to wear at home for 1-2 weeks. Maybe a lot of answers could be found in those results.
We need to upvote this
Long QT is quite a dangerous arrhythmia and a quick diagnosis is very important.
Zade and layla are both just adorable!! I'll be praying for y'all!! God's timing is perfect and I know that he is healing you right now. Stay safe! Love y'all!
I’m so sorry to hear you are still having issues. Continued prayers that you will begin to get answers! Layla was so cute singing and dancing!! Zade is such a cutie and will roll soon!! Many prayers for your beautiful family!!
About a week ago I ran across your channel and have been hooked since! I love the entire family and the wholesome quality which is missing frequently in this day and age! I do hope you get answers on your health Carlin and will keep you in my prayers! God bless this whole family!
This video brings back so many precious memories of my babies! I love this, watching these babies!!
Praying for you and your whole family and for answers soon hang in there have an awesome blessed week ❤️❤️❤️
I had a cavity after my second child! You guys are doing a good job. Hang in there. This will not be forever. You will get answers.
Carlin, you're still in my thoughts and prayers and hopefully you'll have answers soon. Love you all and you've been a blessing! Hopefully by now Zade has rolled over! Really enjoyed your video and love Layla's running and she's just absolutely adorable and so precious just like Zade! God Bless You, Evan, Layla and Zade!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Praying God gives you answers soon. Your little ones are so cute. Thank you for your time to update all of us.💖
Praying for answers and strength to get through this difficult time!
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I am going through the same thing. Still no answers and definitely have break downs too. What sucks is I just lost my insurance and went to state insurance so I have to start with new doctors. I keep watching you to see if there is anything I can as my doctors too. Thank you so much for letting us see into your lives during this time.
Just hoping for the BEST for Carlin,sending huge hugs and positive vibes
I love y’all so much. I continue praying for you Carlin for a full recovery. I’ll keep praying until you’re healed. Love your channel
My heart goes out to you both. Of course you get overwhelmed and emotional. The waiting, and not knowing what's wrong is so hard. I'm happy that you have sweet times with your sweet babies, that will help you get through things.
I was Diagnosed with MS at a very young age 23, still had 3 kids. Just know my heart feels for everything you are going through. I think going to a cardiologist wouldn't hurt either. Hang in there guys 🥰
I was diagnosed with POTS at age 28. My kids were 10 and 8. My husband left with a mutual friend. My sons are now taking care of me and living with me. Sending ♥️ and 🙏! Hopefully they figure out what is wrong with Carlin.
Ask for a tilt table test. My son went undiagnosed until he had one. Never take no for an answer, insist on tests.
@@ronbutler9986 Yeah I went through 8 neurologist until one @Cleveland Clinic ordered a tilt-table test. They also put radioactive dye into my body to watch blood and how it moved around in my body. My diagnosis was Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome or POTS. Keep going until you get answers. Praying 🙏 for all of us, who are chronically ill.
My heart goes out to you. So hard to deal with all the unknowns. So hard when you can't find an easy fix. So hard when you feel like prayers go unanswered. You and Evan are doing such a good job navigating through all the uncertainty. It's okay to have breakdowns, rants and bad days. You are not alone! You two are such a great example of patience, faith and hope. Keep the faith and God bless you.
One thing is for sure....you both are blessed with patience, peace, and a positive nature. God gives you the grace and He holds your hands thru this trial.
I prayed for Carlin several times. I hope she can get answers soon, so sshe can start living her life, and get back to normal things. Bless you guy's, and much love Debbie
There are no words for how loving and cute Layla is!! God Bless
You guys have such beautiful mind sets. Your smiles both encourage and break my heart. You both do such a solid job at supporting one another and care for your children during this really difficult time. Continuing to pray for all of you🙏
I love your little family. You two are so young and I think y’all are doing a great job in facing this health challenge. You are so fortunate to have such a large supportive family. Praying that you get answers soon. 🙏🌷❤️
It’s a marathon not a sprint but God knows the outcome and He will guide you every step of the way. I’m glad you are letting the emotions out. It IS difficult.
Zade is looking more like Layla! Continued prayers for Carlin! Love you guys!
Praying for you Carlin!!! and your Family!! Wow can't wait to for next week about your hair!!!❤❤❤
Ya’ll are literally my favorite YT channel to watch. Despite your trials you are still so positive and upbeat. Your love and support for each other shines through and you’re not afraid to be outspoken about your faith and how you’re trusting God, not just with Carlin’s health, but in every aspect of your lives. What a wonderful example to the world. Thank you for letting us walk life with you and pray for you.🙏🏼 You guys are pretty darn awesome!
💯 agree
My fav YT couple also, hands down
Can't wait to see what you did with your hair, hopefully you'll get the answers very soon, keep us posted 🌞
I hate it when all day long I’ve been waiting for new content and realized it’s not Saturday yet. It’s just Thursday. Love y’all!!!
Those kiddos are cutie pies! You all are blessed...even in the midst of some rocky storms. Praying for a complete recovery for Carlin.
Zade seems very calm! I bet your very blessed 🙌
My sister has been having this same problem for a few years. They have not been able to pin point the issue. The good news is that you can have a normal life. Our prays are with you
Layla is so cute, and her singing is out this world. Just love her ❤️
What a precious video of Layla and Zade!!🥰. Continuing to lift Carlin in prayer, along with Evan and the family! Always remember, God has a perfect plan!! Much love and blessings from Nashville!♥️♥️♥️
Aw Carlin, I'm sorry you still have no answers for your health issues. I know how frustrating and scary that can be, I went 18 months without a diagnosis so I've been there and can empathize with you totally. Prayers for answers and healing for you.
FYI I think you would look adorable with a pixie haircut, you have such awesome bone structure and beautiful eyes but I know you'll look great whatever you do. God Bless.
Carlin, I am praying for you. Zade looks so much like Layla! You are such a sweet family. Blessings
I just noticed that this time ! They are so precious !!!
Loved watching the way you guys are Balcony People! Cheering on your babies. Teaching Big Sister to be her brother's cheerleader.
Carlin, you are blazing a path for many! God won't waste this. Many will watch, learn and be encouraged! 🙏
Watching now on my T.V. Praying for you. Can’t imagine going through this right after having a baby.
Carlin.... you guys are gonna get to the bottom of what's going on. I can imagine it must be incredibly frustrating. But.... I along with many are praying for you to get the answers and solutions for whatever is going on. Just know you have a strong support base. I love your family and your videos. Thank you for allowing us to share in this part of your journey. Hang in there sweetheart. God has you and yours in His hands. By the way, your children are adorable.
Prayers still coming. Your faith is strong. He is with you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Sister is so precious being the teacher 💖
Hello Carlin and Evan! I understand how difficult this time must be for you. After watching your videos, I have learned that I went through a health issue very similar to this about 3 years ago with seizures/episodes of unknown origin. I would be happy to share my tips or recommendations with you both if you are interested. Hope it goes well for you!
Don’t feel guilty for feeling emotional and frustrated during these hard times! You are stronger than you know!
Yes Carlin…one day at a time…sometimes it’s one minute at a time, but keep up positive attitudes because that will help you tremendously! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Carlin once again. We love you girl. You got this momma. 💕🙏
Praying for your precious family and for answers concerning Carlins health. Layla and Zade are so cute!! ❤️🙏
They are adorable and Layla looks like her Dad. 💙💖
Been praying for you Carlin I hope everything goes well for you sweetheart Layla is so cute the baby is growing love you guys the Lord will get get you guys through this and I know you have faith in him my church tomorrow will be praying for you the whole congregation be strong Carlin and I know you have faith God bless
Thinking of y’all and praying!! Keep up the good spirit Carlin! I know it’s so hard for you. But you’re doing it!👍
Prayers for answers and for God to give you both what you need. Bless you both. ❤️
Hope Carlin gets well soon.
I'm still wondering if you could be a Covid long hauler. I've read about other people who are doing similar to you, especially since you can't get answers, one lady keeps passing out with no answers. Its just something to think about. Anything is worth checking into.
Honestly her positively throughout this journey is how I pray to handle hard situations. I become so anxious and shut down or pessimistic. I pray to be more positive moving forward
She was singing, “We don’t talk about Bruno No No.” 🤣 Cute!
My daughter experiences the same things and I’ve commented about her POTS syndrome before. Carlin- the breakdowns and tears I’ve had w my daughter in a search for answers and frustrations. You are totally normal🥰
Dorinda Davis, I also think that POTS is what Carlin has. One of my son's sisters-in-law has it and she has all of these same issues, including tachycardia.
@@suzannerodriguez8600 I think maybe she has POTS and other conditions that have aggravated that response. Sometimes breast feeding or pumping or hormones fluctuating at all can aggravate a situation w POTS. And the high responses we are seeing due to Covid inflammation from active infections or the vaccination have made the cases I see dramatically higher. I hope Carlin gets answers and remission is possible, it’s so scary when it’s so unknown. Compression socks really make a huge difference with venous return of circulation- but my daughters having a hard time balancing that with the Florida heat right now too. Because temperature changes can really inspire episodes of convulsant syncope (the passing out). I pray for answers - it’s scary, dont I know😰🥰❤️
Was your daughter given the Gardisil vaccine? Mine was and this all came on for my daughter also.
@@lesliejones6086 yes, when she was old enough to receive it she did get it. But I never noticed any connection. She got The other naughty vaccine (Moderna) because her daddy (my husband) got the original strain of the virus and almost died. She wanted to see him so badly. Although she received her required vaccines for school, etc... she still had her first pass out with seizure-like activity, when she was going through puberty. At that time the episodes were once a year at most. Now it’s weekly. It’s scary. Temperature change, hormones, illness, not wearing her compression socks, stress, and fatigue all seem to exacerbate it. The compression socks helped so much- gave that venous return to the heart- and now she is taking very strong heart medication that I hate she has to take. It’s really controversial medication and she will have to come off of it when she wants to have a baby (it’s dangerous for bleeding AND toxic to a developing baby/pregnancy.) But she was so desperate. The socks were great, but it’s summer in Florida, and temperature sensitivity is part of the initiating symptoms- so she’s trying everything. Failed a stress test within 4 minutes (her heart rate went over 180) and failed a tilt table. EKG and EEG fine. Our next step is a brain MRI (she’s had a clean CT) and she’s frustrated, discouraged, and so stressed- which makes it worse. She’s seeing rheumatology now, with neurology and cardiology, and that doctor has helped her the most. She has been placed on hydroxychloroquine actually now in addition to her other meds and so far, so good.
But the short answer is that , yes, she received the HPV Gardasil vaccine... but it was years after she started with the episodes of “convulsant syncope.” It looks so much like seizures and Carlin’s story is almost identical. My daughter is also on a high sodium diet.
I would suggest Carlin goes to rheumatology also... THEYVE discovered some inflammatory markers in her blood that are not within normal limits. Rheumatology gave a whole different perspective and we are trying everything.
My daughter is 24 and needs her life back. She’s scared to leave the house! She’s having a hard time working at all, as the socks have helped but they are HOT.
I pray for her everyday we need answers. The unknown is the scariest part.
Curious- what is the relationship to Gardasil?
@@Dorinda-Sevvy, POTS is really hard to treat. One of my son's sisters-in-law has it. The only thing that helps her, when she is having a flare-up, is intravenous Benadryl. Oh do I understand your daughter's battle with compression stockings. I live in South Carolina and I can only tolerate them from November thru April. After that, it's just too hot and getting overheated really triggers my issues. I hope your daughter feels better.
Your kiddos are so adorable! Sorry your walking through this. If you get frustrated with the allopathic medical system the functional medicine route is an option. In my experience during the first visit ,( it was a neurological issue) they knew what was wrong and helped fix some of the symptoms. (Its a long appointment but worth it). They didn't just fix it with meds, or tell me there was nothing they could do but went to the root of the problem. It was a really good experience. Praying you find answers and healing.
Continue prayers for Carlin!! Take my friend and you do what’s best for you...
Question - Have you noticed what seems to be a correlation or maybe just bizarre coincidence between the types of activities Carlin does and her seizures. They seem to be much more prevalent during times when someone's brain would be chronically engaged from a lot of surrounding stimuli from people i.e. the store cash and carry days, church events, shopping trips with lots of family, big gatherings in Nashville or attending family sporting events to name a few. Stimuli that isn't normally present in the quiet of your home. Could be the stimuli to the cardiovascular system or a combo as well. Just seems like they might be triggers in some way. Just an observation. ☺️❤️
Good observation. 🙏
I had noticed something similar which is why I am wondering if the at home or hospital EEG will show because it does seem like it is with a lot of stimuli from other people.
I was going to comment the same. It seems too me it’s a stimulation thing. I’m chronically ill and I know how hard it is too not live a “normal” life.
I'm wondering if constant exposure to all the chemicals on brand new clothes has anything to do with Car lin's condition? I'm wondering if constantly working with textiles for the boutique, being in the boutique, or even just shopping at other stores have impacted, if not caused, her condition? A now cancer free friend mentioned how she came to a realization how much chemicals she had exposed herself to for many many years just from spending hours shopping. I personally had a strange experience of feeling like I was passing out one time when I was in an imports store that carried all kinds of goods from around the world. I later realized that a lot of their products and furniture had been treated heavily with chemicals.
@@jhk3257 those same chemicals are what causes a lot of things. Seizures are a listed side effect of many vaccines.
Praying for you whole family. You guys got this!
I am happy to see Carlin feeling better compared to previous times. Hugs to you guys in how you are handling everything. Praying for you to have an open door to someone who can give you the answers. Prayers also for you to feel God taking care of you every step of the way.
Sweet Carlin ~ My heart goes out to you as I watch the continuing saga of trying to find answers. I will save you the details, but I've been there and I'm there again. My life changed dramatically when I was in my late 20's. I'm 47 next month. I have been blessed to find my "tribe" of other ladies with the same diagnosis. We hold each other up in prayer. I know the waiting is the hardest of all, save for the answer. We all have had our share of breakdowns. You are in good company. Something I heard spoken in my devotional yesterday was that "God wastes nothing" that we face in our lives. I knew that but needed a reminder. I know it's frightening and you just want your life back. Been there sweetie. Will be praying over you. Many blessings.
She may consider wearing a helmet to protect her head in case of another fall like before where she had a concussion.
One that’s been bedazzled or maybe has bullet hole stickers or flames?
I thought the same thing but I don’t think Carlin would wear one.
